Finnish Red Cross
Helsinki - ArabToday
The Finnish Red Cross is sending more nurses and medical supplies to Mosul, northern Iraq, to help people injured in battle, it was announced Monday.
The aid workers and supplies will support two hospitals in Mosul, which were in shortage of basic supplies and medicines, said the Finnish Red Cross.
"The hospitals located in Mosul and its vicinity are no longer able to handle all the wounded in battle efficiently enough," said Andreas von Weissenberg, head of the International Disaster Relief Unit of the Finnish Red Cross.
Also on Monday, the Finnish government announced it would grant 500,000 euros (531,152 U.S. dollars) to support the humanitarian operation conducted by the Red Cross.
The Finnish Red Cross said that it would use the governmental financial aid and 100,000 euros of its own catastrophe fund to back its mission in Iraq.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has supported hospitals in Mosul and nearby areas since October 2016.
In October 2016, Iraqi army with allied forces launched a joint offensive to recapture the city of Mosul, seized by the Islamic State in 2014.
